This invention relates to a. device which renders it impossible for the user to stand upon the privy-seat; and consists in the provision of rollers on the top of the seat, which, although aording a secure and convenient seat, yet, inthe event of an attempt to stand upon them, will revolve, and precipitate the user on to the oor.

Figure 1 is a perspective view of a. privysseat embodying our improvement.

Figure 2 is a vertical section thereof, from front to rear.

A represents the box, having one or more pairs of standards, B, which afford journal bearing for a roller, C, over the 'ont edge of the box, and, where necessary, of side rollers C' C' and a back roller, C".
